Ok, so today I was cleaning up my desktop (not like I don’t have better things to do, but sometimes it literally is COVERED with files), when I started wondering once again, there must be a better way to organize my files. SWF, EPS, AI, FLA, PNG, JPG, AS, and on and on. Some binary, some ASCII. I have used a combination of CVS, WinCVS, and TortoiseCVS in the past, but that just doesnt work as well as I would like it to sometimes with binary files.

So I was aimlessly googling different queries. I quickly typed in ‘image file versioning,’ and the first site returned was for Macromedia Sitespring. I kind of chuckled, because this query obviously never heard the announcement from Macromedia about this now undeveloped platform. Now, I know that Sitespring was never intended to be a versioning system, but I just thought this was interesting. I also wondered if Macromedia should be integrating there products with some type of currently available versioning system, or maybe even create one themselves?

But until then, I pose the question to the masses: How do you manage the endless amount of files that you create when working on projects?
